Week 1, I didn’t see the replacement refs mess up that much
but that didn’t convince me all was well. The best thing the NFL could hope for
was nobody to notice a huge mess-up and act like all was well.
That’s what happens when you patch a slow, bleeding wound
with a kiddie bandage. It’s passable and you hope the wound’s manageable but you
haven’t fixed the problem. Eventually it’ll get worse without treatment.
Week 2? I saw a bad call affect Tampa Bay. Mike Williams
catches a great ball, takes 2 steps, gets hit and loses the ball out of bounds.
Clearly he had possession but the refs said he didn’t. CBS Sports’ Mike Freeman described otherscrew-ups as well.
